β¦ Synopsis
"A Rogue's Decameron consists of ten stories - tales - that loosely follow the fabliaux style and are based within the spirit of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and Boccaccio's The Decameron: extravagance, joy and ribald humour around sex, lust, vice, death and other 'hungers' of human beings. Using similar framing technique as these works-a prologue, a short description of each story and an epilogue, the stories explore themes such as social commentary and satire aimed at personal politics, societal mores and customs, hierarchies, and religious beliefs. All with Toronto as a backdrop and brought up to date for the sensibilities of a 21st century audience."--;Intro; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Prologue; The Butcher Wife's Tale; The Detective's Tale; The Onlooker's Tale; The Stalker's Tale; The Criminals' Tale; The Traveller's Tale; The Marriage Counsel's Tale; The Newlyweds' Tale; The Missing Person's Tale; The Reeve Sisters' Tale; Epilogue; Acknowledgements; About the Author
